The Baader Meinhof group, also known as the Red Army Faction (RAF), was a left-wing extremist organization in Germany during the 1970s. The group was named after its founders, Andreas Baader and Ulrike Meinhof. They aimed to overthrow what they perceived as a fascist state and establish a communist society. The Baader Meinhof group believed in armed resistance and carried out numerous acts of terrorism, including bombings, assassinations, and kidnappings. Their targets included government officials, police officers, and American military personnel stationed in Germany. The group's activities caused widespread fear and unrest in the country, leading to a massive manhunt by the authorities. The Baader Meinhof group's violent campaign ended in the late 1970s with the arrest and imprisonment of its core members.

The Basque ETA group, also known as Euskadi Ta Askatasuna, was a separatist organization that operated in the Basque Country and Spain for over five decades. Founded in 1959, ETA sought to establish an independent Basque state through armed struggle. The group was responsible for numerous acts of violence, including bombings, assassinations, and kidnappings, which claimed the lives of hundreds of people. ETA targeted both Spanish security forces and civilians, considering them as enemies of the Basque cause. Over the years, the group faced extensive government crackdowns and its leadership was systematically dismantled. In 2018, ETA officially announced its dissolution, bringing an end to one of the most persistent and violent conflicts in Europe. The Basque ETA group remains a significant part of Basque and Spanish history, leaving a lasting impact on the region's politics and society.

The Red Brigade, also known as the Brigate Rosse, was a left-wing terrorist organization that operated in Italy during the late 1960s and 1980s. The group was founded in 1970 and aimed to establish a communist state through armed struggle. They were responsible for a series of high-profile kidnappings, bombings, and assassinations, targeting politicians, businessmen, and law enforcement officials. The Red Brigade gained international notoriety for their kidnapping and subsequent murder of former Prime Minister Aldo Moro in 1978. Their ideology was based on Marxist-Leninist principles and they believed in the necessity of armed revolution to bring about social change. The group disbanded in the early 1990s, but their actions continue to be a significant part of Italy's history and serve as a reminder of the political turmoil during that period.
